Resistor Networks

A resistor network is an electrical circuit consisting of several resistors connected in various ways. Resistor networks usually provide a set of properties that affect the overall circuit characteristics, such as voltage, current, and resistance. Resistor networks are essential components in many of today’s electronic devices and circuits.

Arrays

Arrays are collections of interconnected components or circuits that can be manipulated in diverse ways to produce different results. An array may be used to store data, to create a signal, or to configure a circuit. As such, an array plays a critical role in many electronics applications.

EXB-V4V360JV Application Field and Working Principle

The EXB-V4V360JV is a resistor network that belongs to the Vishay SMARTFuse family. This device is a compact and cost-effective solution that is designed to protect against overvoltage and undervoltage conditions. It offers a variety of features, including an adjustable trip-point and a power-on reset to protect power supplies and prevent damage to downstream components. The device is also designed to be extremely low-power, making it suitable for use in battery-operated devices.

The working principle of the EXB-V4V360JV is based on a two-stage comparator. In the first stage, an adjustable voltage reference is used to compare the input voltage to two fixed thresholds. If the input voltage is between the two thresholds, the comparator output remains low. However, if the voltage exceeds either threshold, the output will switch high.

In the second stage, a hysteretic comparator is used to compare the output from the first stage to an adjustable voltage reference. If the voltage exceeds the reference voltage, an output signal is generated, indicating undervoltage or overvoltage conditions. The hysteretic comparator also ensures that the output signal is held as long as the voltage remains above or below the threshold levels.

The EXB-V4V360JV is primarily used in systems which require undervoltage lockouts (UVLO) and overvoltage protection (OVP). The device can be incorporated into a variety of systems that require protection against damage due to undesired voltages, such as power supplies, DC motors, and automotive applications.

Overall, the EXB-V4V360JV is an ideal solution for systems requiring efficient and low-cost OVP and UVLO protection. Its robust design and adjustable features make it a great choice for a wide range of applications.
